Pcos - gp weight loss appointment

Has anyone been put on weight loss tablets and it worked? I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and want to discuss weight loss prescription, but not sure which ones are good OR even if they’d let me or not I’ve had 2 babies in 2 years (not having more), I’m 16 stone, stomach is still very young, weights not going (thinking muscle issue), I’ve been eating clean for at least a couple months and nothings helping

I have PCOS and I’m insulin resistant. I went to my dr expecting to get a pill or something for weight loss but she prescribed Ozempic and it has been amazing. Not only has it helped with weight it has helped with other PCOS symptoms as well. I have lost 60lbs since October.

@Emily i have pcos insulin resistance with regular light periods. I want a baby. How did u conceive if u dont mind me asking. I take supplements and have a controlled diet and exercise. What else can i do? X

@Z sorry I’m not who you asked, but I have insulin resistant and struggled for 8 years but got pregnant the first time on clomid (first month) and then accidentally fell pregnant at 11 months postpartum naturally x

Thats ok i’ll take advice from anyone! Did u have any side effects taking clomid? I got pregnant September 2023 as soon as i came off the pill but sadly had a miscarriage at 5 weeks. So i know i ovulate and im capable of getting pregnant but haven’t conceived since September..X

@Z no side effects at all! I had 2 chemicals before trying clomid (and one since) I just saw this on tiktok and thought maybe you might want to see it x https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeQh7bya/

Im sorry to hear that.. Thank you, i just had a look. The supplement I currently take is this one. It includes coq10 https://www.fertility-smart.net/fertilitysmart-conceive-for-women/#usageData I may start maca root alongside this. I just get worried because im 31 now and getting old😅

@Z I did Keto and lost 100lbs. After 8 years of trying and 9 miscarriages I had 2 beautiful babies. Right when I hit my goal weight I was pregnant lol

@Z during the 8 years I did multiple rounds of clomid and it did not work for me. It actually made me extremely crazy and emotional.

@Emily I saw the doctor this morning and she wouldn’t prescribe anything but told me to look into intermittent fasting and walk twice a day for 45 minutes… she booked a follow up appointment in June! X

@Emily wow thats amazing weight loss. Im also doing keto now! U guys have given me hope. Thank you so much for ur reply and comments.💕💕

Keto was a lot harder for me to follow with kids so I’m on Ozempic currently.

Wow! Keto is definitely hard, i lost 30kg previously but since being diagnosed with pcos im struggling to lose any. If i jog daily along side keto i should be able to lose 10kg within a couple of months? Im only slightly overweight..

But you can try fertility smart too.its a food supplement

@Akosua have you tried it?
